...fire alarm has gone off in councilman Antonio Villaraigosa's office in city hall, and the emergency strobe light is flashing, but he isn't budging. Two days after winning the Los Angeles mayoral election, Villaraigosa has business to do. It is 6 p.m., and he has been up since 3 a.m. In the past two hours alone, his assistant tells him, he has received 47 phone messages. A secretary calls security to find out if the building needs to be evacuated. But Villaraigosa, 52, once described by a fellow Democrat as having as much energy as "a hummingbird...
...were Capp, I would be embarrassed to serve under these circumstances. I would resign and demand that a campus-wide election be held in the fall to elect a replacement vice president.

It is simply inappropriate that the 2004-2005 membership of the council was able to choose Nichols’ successor without a poll of the student body or, at the very least, time for students’ to consider the candidates...
...future, if the council vice president resigns too late in the year for proper full elections to take place, the council should internally elect an interim vice president, to serve until the soonest convenient time at which a student vote can take place. This would ensure that the summer remains a productive time for the council, without costing undergraduates their rightful say in the selection of their vice president. Of course, if the vice president were to resign when it was convenient for a full student-body vote to be held, then a permanent replacement ought to be elected, with...
